This one page took me ALL DAY because of the format. It's harder than it looks.Probably took longer because I didn't do any storyboarding or sketching. Only had a fuzzy image in my mind what I wanted, but mostly it was put together one panel at a time.

Came together okay in the end. Could have been better. Careful planning is important.Also helps if you know how to draw. Which I do but some weaknesses stuck out today during the process.

Funny how I rolled with a picture that was just a dumb joke.

So I looked around out of curiosity and found that standard printed comic resolution is something like 6.625" x 10.25" at 300 - 600 DPI. It varies a bit here and there but whatever. For the sake of argument lets just go with this for now.That ends up with an enormous 1987 x 3075 px canvas to work with.

My little panels I post for daily drawings is some random resolution I clicked and dragged to in paint and sorta stuck with, 879 x 687. I've been meaning to change it around to make weirder art, but now I'm considering changing it for a higher res comic, pixel tool and all... which I've also considered changing but bluh whatever.Dunno though. Nothing in the works yet. Just thinking out loud.

As an example here's a page of the current drawings fitting on a print-sized page.

Shit is enormous.

That's not to say I was thinking of printing this stuff. But at that tiny res, if you think of each drawing as a single panel itself, it'd take me a hundred years to make a 24-page thing. Haha.I'd also read that if you're instead posting stuff online you generally don't want to go higher than 800 or 900 wide. Height generally doesn't matter.The reason for this is mobile devices/smaller screens but also because it's just kind of a standard thing. Print is high res/high DPI so it looks good when it's on a physical page.

On the web none of that matters, not as much anyway. Could do just about anything.

But yeah, that's all. Thought it was interesting.There's a lot of stuff to consider.I'll probs just wing it like I always do.
